Like many of her neighbors, she had no flood insurance. She and her husband are forced to live on the second floor because of the damage on the first floor. Her mother, daughter and grandson have moved in with relatives.

She said she cannot sell the house in its current condition and cannot afford the repairs, which she estimates could top $100,000.

"I'm OK right now, but there are times it's just overwhelming,” she said. “I'm generally a pretty positive person, but this is pretty overwhelming."

In the same neighborhood, at least 60 homes were damaged and dozens of apartments destroyed.
